Total disaster. They donât deserve to be mentioned in the Michelin guide. We asked if the lobsters were live. They said âyes.â But we could tell they were not. They tasted like frozen lobster tails and claws. We live in Ireland, and we know that, depending on the sea condition, restaurants in Ireland donât have a constant supply of the lobsters. But they usually donât lie about it. What is really terrible is that the staff were told to lie that they were alive when asked. They charged the lobster dish at a set price, and they didnât show us the live lobsters before preparing them. It is an insult that they think tourists cannot tell the difference. We can tell the difference between freshly cooked live lobsters and frozen ones, no matter how much wine and butter they try to use to disguise them. Very disappointed.

As a restaurant owner myself , I am quite particular of what I like to eat . Usually when I am in Ireland, I seek out traditional Irish cuisine , but we had a hankering for pizza and went to Blue Zone . This is absolutely the best pizza I have ever eaten and we ate there the next evening as well. Imagine finding that in Ireland ! The owner was very friendly and his staff is efficient and kind . I wish I could rate this place a 6! I will definitely be back !

Ashes was a go to restaurant/pub for us in Dingle. The food was very good with lots of great choices on the menu. It is not a Pub-food restaurant, but a very good restaurant in its own right...also a good pub. We liked it so much that, in spite of many other good restaurants in Dingle, we went back to Ashes for dinner a second time during our stay..

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dingle and took the opportunity to visit Fenton's restaurant.The location of the restaurant is right in the centre of the town and very easy to find. I did book ahead and judging from what I saw the restaurant is very popular and tables at a premium.And having visited Fenton's I can fully understand why it is so popular.The welcome from the staff is extremely friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxed and calming.The food was absolutely outstanding and the best meal we ate on our recent trip across Cork and Kerry.I loved the way the chefs use great local produce and add their expertise to produce stunning meals.A memorable evening for my wife and I and one we certainly intend to repeat in the future.

We stopped here based on the recommendation of Maurice at the Quayside B&B. Best advice we have received.Starting off with a Dingle whiskey and a Dick Mack's Amber Ale (both locally sourced) started this wonderful experience. Apps and local chowder elevated the results even more. Our local seafood dinners were so fresh and amazing.This is a first class restaurant that we strongly recommend.

We have been traveling in Ireland for a week now, and we continue to be pleasantly surprised and delighted by the wonderful dining experiences we have enjoyed. The Chart House was another great dining experience; one of the best! I had the pork belly and my wife had the chicken. We each had cauliflower and blue cheese soup. We both really enjoyed our dishes. They have a terrific selection of wines and we were able to get our favourite Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.The service excellent! The Chart House is very deserving of its high Trip Advisor rating.

My husband and I dined here tonight for our 5th wedding anniversary. It was just superb. My sister gave us the recommendation as she was here a year ago with raving reviews so we said weâd check it out. For light bites we got beautifully marinated olives and a take on pan y tomate..gorgeous fried bread with sweet tomatoes (my palette craves salty punches so the olives as an accompany counteracted that sweetness for me but on the other hand, my husband adored them). We ordered three tapas to start and kept a menu in the hopes of seeing other dishes fly past us to make our mind up on what else to get! First, were the smoked haddock croquetas, marvellously moorish bites of heaven! Next the lamb, which was supposed to be served with a courgette flower and basil. We picked it as we have courgette flowers growing ourselves and were excited to taste. Unfortunately they were all out of flowers but served a generous piece of lamb shoulder with what I believe to be a yogurt sauce (?) and pea purée as a substitute (nice substitute..no complaints)..the meat was succulent, perfectly cooked, melt in mouth! Lastly the carpaccio of octopus. I have to say, it was lovely and delicate albeit a little too sweet for my palette again (my husband lapped it up!)..but this is just a matter of personal taste, it was still excellent. After conferring with two waitresses (and after one of them kindly showed us multiple dishes on her way to other tables (thank you, it was wonderful to see each dish!!) we settled of more croquetas (chorizo and manchego..nice and savoury for my salted palette!) and the duck with picked yellow beets and whipped goats cheese...to die for! All washed down with some delicious vino tinto! (Temperature of the wine was perfect, thank you! Such an easy thing to do right, yet so many places fail). We had absolutely no room for desert but left happy hearted! It does look like you get little when it arrives especially if you are very hungry (we had researched and knew what to expect so no surprises) but you end up savouring every bite and slowly dissect the flavours (eating as it should be done!)..by the third tapa we were kind of full but wanting to experience more, we were stuffed after two more! No music in the restaurant just the welcoming buzz of chatter created by happy customers..I liked that! Well done to staff and chefs!I remember you both. Iâm the waitress that showed you the dishes as I passed. You should have mentioned it was your anniversary.....belated congratulations and many, many thanks for the wonderful review. By the way.....there should have been music playing but glad you enjoyed the absence.

A Seafood Only Restaurant, perfectly situated on the harbour in Dingle. Pretty fine, interesting, colourful, fun and fresh dining for a Shack !
Reviewed By scottierocket
We stopped here as it sits right on the harbour and knew it would have a great fish selection, which it certainly did! We thought it looked quite informal, a rustic kind of place from the outside and imaged it to be almost budget.....donât be fooled, itâs not, itâs pretty top end and swanky. Caters for a busy American market and as such offers meals you would expect in a London restaurant. We went for a blow out and had chouder soup ( best ever) lobster, (mate had it) some other fish (delicious) and a superb wine (house â¬35) it was by far the most expensive meal of our trip, but certainly one of the finest.Staff were great too

As you do, you try to find a place for brunch on a Sunday in Gastro town Dingle.Was it not for the added complication its the Sunday after the main sports event in Dingle " The Marathon" . We circled around Dingle we found the Pantri. There was a bit of queue as the place is compact shall we say, but on arrival we got offered a table outside .. Now Sundays weather was not like the day before, it was Irish Mist. For those that don't know what that is its mist that falls down as very fine rain (only in Ireland) We were not deterred, under the umbrella outside we went , my sons concluded we will not die of a bit of rain and we will be okay. ( 10 & 12 ,hardy men)The food is gorgeous, I had the black pudding on sour dough and my wife had the eggs Benedict.. the lads were happy with a hot chocolate. We were impressed with the food and the taste, we will be back for sure before the next marathon . PS. Dress for the weather and the occasion , its was worth sitting under the umbrella in the mist.. Do visit the pantri cafe..

Local cuisine, influenced by the finesse of European cookery but rooted in Irish traditions, our take on food is based in the belief that everyone should be afforded the opportunity to experience foods grown, raised, caught, and foraged by their neighbour

After days of eating deep fried fish in pubs, it was a pleasure to have a high quality fresh monk fish dinner. Everything from the wine to the appetizer to the main dish to the dessert equaled or surpassed seafood restaurants in major cities. Recommend the early bird dinner for a cost effective meal
